Directory Extensions

Directory extensions allow you to add custom properties to Microsoft Entra directory objects. Each extension is a single standalone property registered against the CIPP application registration, which makes it available in every tenant CIPP is consented to.

• Directory extensions must have unique names.

• There is a limit of 100 extension values per resource instance.

• Considerations for using directory extensions
